So, I snagged a Billet grille and an SLP bowtie grille off a guy locally for 25$
BUT, I can't figure out how to mount it! (the billet one)

It has 4 holes like most of the ones I've seen but they don't line up with the stock grille mounting holes. Are they even supposed to line up? I've heard of people using zip-ties to mount the grilles but that sounds like it'll just break off eventually, and I don't particularly want to drill more holes in the front.

Anybody have any suggestions or want to take pics of how they mounted their grille on?

When I had one on my other car I used Zip-ties thru the fog-light bracket (94) and it held fine. Well, held up fine until someone decided they needed my grill more than me and they stole it.

Honestly I would try to figure out a better way to mount it- zip ties work great but a swift tug and anyone can make off with your grill.

Let me get this straight... you snagged a billet grill AND an SLP grill for only $25?

And also... let me get this straight... you think the billet grill is cooler than the SLP grill?

Yep, I got the billet AND SLP bowtie for $25 , and yes, I think the billet is cooler, but ONLY because I need a front plate in NY... If not, I'd definitely use the SLP one. The bowtie grille looks strange with the center covered up by the plate.

Well, at least paint or powdercoat the billet grill black. I'm pretty sure (and definitely personally believe) the Mach 3 razor look is dead finally. Though Ford continues to use it on their new cars ... but that's beside the point.

6litereater's site has some pics I think of their black billet grill and it looks so much better than chrome-like metal http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...products_id=98

Its already black, I just need to find the time to paint the area behind the grille black before I mount it.

Also, I'm still not sure HOW to get it mounted. I gave up on not drilling more holes, so I'm looking for some discreet looking screws to use...
